KARACHI: Shahid Afridi Foundation donated Rs. 1 million to former boxing champion Amir Khan’s fundraiser for building wells for the drought-affected people of Sindh’s Tharparkar area.

Amir Khan and Shahid Afridi are using their stardom to generate funds for the needy and want to return something to the Almighty, nation and the country as a gesture of gratitude.

Severe water shortage is present in several parts of the country which is the reason for high number of deaths in remote villages in Sindh.

There is no two opinion that human beings cannot survive without water and hundreds of millions of people do not have access to it. Long distances have to be covered in order to get to the closest water source such as a puddle, pond or a stream.

Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) realizes the importance and seeks to play its role in providing clean drinking water to all.

The foundation is working to resolve the crisis in underdeveloped regions of interior Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
